Creality K1 Max 3D Printer

Best 3D printer 2024 – Speedy / Smart / Super

Creality has gone all in with its new series of 3D printers, promising speed, smarts, and in the K1 Max’s case, a larger build volume.

The K1 Max’s design as a CoreXY style 3D printer does lend itself to speedy printing, with the print bed static for each layer and a belt and rod arrangement for the X- and Y- axes movement.K1 Max makes use of a new and seemingly proprietary ceramic hot end that can heat quickly. Creality states it can go from cold to 200 °C in just 40 seconds. Judging by the company’s description, it is what we’d consider all-metal, with a titanium-alloy heatbreak. It can heat to 300 °C and comes with a hardened steel nozzle as standard. Filament is fed by a dual-gear direct extruder. Further smartness on the K1 Max comes in the form of a camera which, paired with “AI” (here a machine vision system), provides a degree of print overwatch. In addition to remote monitoring of your print in progress, and timelapse recording, the camera system will watch out for debris and other signs of print failure.
